Welcome to My Substack: Shining a Light on Social Care
24/11/2024
With over 14 years in the social care sector—10 of those as a registered manager—I’ve experienced the profound impact care can have on individuals and families. But alongside the joy, I’ve also seen the growing challenges: financial pressures, policy changes, and rising costs that threaten the survival of small care homes.
When a care home closes, the ripple effects are devastating, impacting residents, families, staff, and communities. I created this Substack to explore these challenges, share personal insights, and advocate for change.
Whether you’re a care professional or policymaker or have a loved one in care, join me as we celebrate the incredible work being done and push for solutions to secure the future of this vital sector.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
